Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS XL Bundle coming to North America and Europe

[tigereyes86]

^ Agree, System transfer from old to new 3DS, then copy SD card contents to a 16gb SD and pop it in the new one. As the eShop accounts link, it'll see that AC has previously been downloaded, so you just have to download it again. (Tip I found online: Before you do anything, format the 16Gb SD as you normally would, then stick it in the AC XL so it initialises the card, then when you transfer the SD data from the 4gb to the 16gb, there's less chance for it to copy incorrectly.)

AC 3DS, hated it at first. As in was really disappointed . It has grown on me now, and even though I have a silver/black XL that's 2 months old, I think I'll go for the bundle. I can see how it's a fairly feminine design - rather than childish, it's more feminine and this puts off a huge chunk of potential buyers. I have some questions that I posted in another thread, but I can keep my current XL as spare or sell it on or trade it for other games...

The XL for it looks really cool, but I don't like having the game pre-installed. I'd much rather want a copy of it~

I kinda feel this way too

If you have enough money, plan on getting an XL eventually, and like the idea of a digital copy then I'd say get it.

But if you enjoy your regular 3DS (or XL idk what you have) then no need to buy it since you're content with what you have.

I LOVE this 3DS XL, but unfortunately I recently bought the Pikachu one. I would get both if I had enough money...

 

[DJStarstryker]

No. I don't like it. I have the Zelda 3DS. I'm good with that.

The only other 3DS' out there that I actually like are the Fire Emblem limited one (it's a regular 3DS) and the Japan only Charizard limited one (an XL).

 

[Pudge]

I already have a 3DS XL, and don't want to spend the extra money just for the AC design. Plus, I'd rather have a cartridge version of the game anyway.

 

[Pudge]

I'm actually quite surprised to see that it's getting a EU and NA release.

I would get it if I didn't already have a 3DS XL.

 

[NanoStar]

I missed out on the opportunity to get the Pikachu 3DS XL. I'm not missing out on this one!

 

[Blueyoshi]

Im sorry if im going to much off topic with this question, but...
I've already got a 3DS, what will I be able to transfer to a new 3DS XL would I get one?
I'm wondering this because I've downloaded quite some games aswell as the ambassador games but I would love to have the animal crossing 3DS XL

 

[Envy]

I still can't see the appeal in this. Even if I didn't already find the 3DS XL tacky and pointless, this is even more tacky in itself. I wish Nintendo could have released the game faster instead. Not that I believe this had any factor into the release date (although when I think about it maybe it actually did with all of the other bundles they are releasing and not wanting to flood the market), but I just wish if they had a big announcement it would have been a sooner release date. What does Nintendo have to release this month and next month anyway?

you should

When you transfer your data from one 3DS to another everything should transfer including ambassador games and etc...
I did a system transfer once.

One thing I'm curious about though is when people ordering this will get it. New Leaf is being released on a Sunday and no one delivers on a Sunday in the states as far as I know. Won't they end up getting it a day later than release?

 

[RoosterInURbutt]

I won't buy one, but if I was given one I wouldnt complain.
I'm happy with my place 3ds, and if I want a skin, ill make one on my press at work.

You would get it later,
My wife pre ordered mine, and I was like... Sunday?
She said if I were to buy it then, I needed to get a credit card. So I did.

 

[Officer Berri]

Welp, good thing I hate that XL's design! 220 dollars is way too much for my tastes. There's no way in heck I'd be spending that much money on a handheld when I already have a working 3DS! That's crazy.

No offense to people who buy stuff like this for a collection, though. I just don't have that kind of money to burn.

 

[Officer Berri]

I don't waste money on a new system when I already have a working 3DS. And even if I needed a 3DS I'd buy something that wasn't that ugly, tacky thing.

 

[SodaDog]

maybe as a birthday present filler.... ill create a novely village just like aika town..

 

[JoeysShinyRattata]

I am gonna buy the physical copy and this, then system transfer my black 3DS to the ACNL bundled one, after I tahe out the old sd card. I will then have a digital copy of NL on my black 3DS and a physical copy in my NL 3DS.

 

[Lisha]

My parents are probably going to buy it for me, I'm really happy! I've waited aaages for a new 3DS but I'm glad I held off getting one so I can get this and the game at the same time. I want to get it from Amazon rather than GAME though (muuuuch cheaper), but I don't see any pre-order listings yet except for that ShopTo place? ^^;

Isn't it gorgeous when Americans complain about the cost of games/consoles?

You Aussies get ripped off so bad, it's not even funny. I saw someone post an pic from their local shop that showed the price for GTA V at over $100.

Found it (image is large):

Spoiler

ONLY $118. ;/



Hopefully New Leaf isn't mega expensive for you guys.
